Social, Service and Grievance Boards

The Black and Gold 1977


Boards hear complaints, sponsor projects, plan socials

 With the announcement that the Grievance Board was ready to go, complaints started filing in, many ranging from health and safety to lack of appreciation problems.


 One of the main projects was to invent methods of getting student's grievances and making it easier and more accessible to get in touch with the board.


 The board researched these topics to come up with possible solutions. Throughout the year, the Grievance Board tried to get students to come out in the open and get off whatever was on their minds.


 Under the able guidance of chairperson Catherine Uyehara, the Student Services Board worked to coordinate the many services that were made available to students.


 An informative handbook, a useful bookstore, an effective interschool program, elections, a spirited pep squad, were some special projects of the monthly board meetings.


 The board also solved problems that arose and brought up suggestions for improvement. Many of the committees acted on recommendations and made changes in goals to make them more purposeful.


 The hard work and dedication of the chairpersons resulted in a very effective board.
 Working with the ideas of the Social Board Committee members and the president and vice president of each class, Social Board Coordinator Kathleen Campbell planned enough activities to make almost every month of the year an interesting one.


 At their monthly meetings they planned events such as the successful Fall Fun Nite and Spring Fling dances, educational and entertaining assemblies such as the Black and Gold assembly and "The Rong Show," and the Crazy Week activities.


 Coordinating the "Tiger Tracks" Homecoming festivities, the first night time Miss McKinley pageant, and the "Walk Close to Me" Winter Prom at the Ilikai's Pacific Ballroom were other duties of the board.
 They also oversaw the individual class weeks and the publicity that announced all their activities..
